wxWidgets for Android? Topic is solved
wxWidgets for Android?
I know, I know... "Google Android is based on Linux but it is not Linux, it has no X server. Also Google Android is based on Java, but it is not Java because has no regular Java Runtime."
But now with Android's NDK it's finally possible to develop in C/C++ for the Android... so I was wondering: is there any chance that someone has started working on a wxWidgets support for Android?
I love wxWidgets and since I am about to start developing for Android, it would only be natural what I would want to continue using wxWidgets.
Any chance?

Android is yet another the fruit of marketing, M$ has a lot of fruits, but google probably will have soon many ones too.davebee wrote:I know, I know...

How is this different from other operating systems supported by wxWidgets?Mojo wrote:Android is yet another the fruit of marketing, M$ has a lot of fruits, but Google probably will have soon many ones too.

Re: wxWidgets for Android?
There's always a chance, but I personally haven't heard of anyone starting work on an Android port. It does sound like it's possible though.davebee wrote:is there any chance that someone has started working on a wxWidgets support for Android?
The wx-dev mailing list is probably the better place to ask, but i've never heard anything about an Android port.
I'm not sure if it's really possible though:

Please note that the NDK does not enable you to develop native-only applications. Android's primary runtime remains the Dalvik virtual machine.
Use the source, Luke!
Re:
More than this: an Android port would bring wxWidgets lightyears in front of Qt. The amazing situation: Qt currently focuses on mobile devices but does neither support Android nor iOS. So they found a dead-end in a niche market.unnikrisb wrote:yes... it will be great if wxWidgets supports in Android.
Sorry, but that's simply nonsense. Have you ever used one of these new mobile devices? It is a completely new type of devices and a completely new - real - market. And it is something industry could like.Mojo wrote:Android is yet another the fruit of marketing, M$ has a lot of fruits, but google probably will have soon many ones too.

If you search the mailing list for "Android", I am sure you will find more.
As always, technical difficulties aside, there is a lack of manpower.

Your best option is to use the wxQt port on Android:

Re: wxWidgets for Android?
wxWidgets would either need to extend its Keyboard, mouse input based API for touch input
or create a new API or touchsreen devs.
Both options are not worth it at this point.
Android dev is based on Java which is easy for a new dev unlike OjectiveC/Cocoa.
